Re: “An exception occurred while the element specified in the test item was being executed"

...this still could potentially not be the case but it's starting to sound like it. We had problems at another company a few years ago with test scenarios seemingly failing with no rational explanation and no helpful exception language in the logs. So, this is worth investigating.

Why automate? I do automated testing because there's only so much a human being can do and remain healthy. Sleep is a requirement. So, while people sleep, automation that I create does what I've described above in order to make sure that nothing gets past the final defense of the testing group.I love good food, good books, good friends, and good fun.

to something longer than what you have now, maybe 5 or 10 times the current setting. This isn't what you'll want to run at normally, but if you can get through several executions at a slower speed without seeing the exception, then it's a clue.
